"In fact, I went to the hospital, and they actually thought he wasn't gonna make it. His wife was devastated. She was crying. I tell this story. I found out that night, you have a wife that loves you dearly. I know many wives who would not even be crying. Your wife was absolutely a mess. She was crying. She was inconsolable, Steve. So, we found that out. But you made it."
"I was at his hospital bedside that night with Melania, with our First Lady, Trump said at the time. And he had no chance. The doctors said he has little chance. And you look better today than you did then. You didn't look particularly good that night, I will say."
President Donald Trump recounted the 2017 shooting of House Majority Leader Steve Scalise during the Congressional Ball. Four people were shot during a GOP congressional baseball practice; all survived, and the gunman later died after being shot by Capitol Police. Trump praised Scalise's courage and described doctors initially doubting his chances of survival. Trump highlighted Jennifer Scalise's devastated, inconsolable reaction at the hospital and noted that Scalise briefly returned to the congressional baseball game four months later. Trump called Scalise's survival a miracle and repeated the anecdote during other public remarks.
